Twenty years ago someone stole my sister. They say Leonie got into a man’s car. She was never seen again. It was the day before her fifteenth birthday. But what if she was never taken? What if the truth is right here, all along, in the house where we grew up. The house I’ve come back to, trying to piece the past together! Good book! This book had suspense, intrigue, action, murder, mystery, and a few crazy twists and turns! The story was very interesting! I definitely recommend reading this book! Thank you NetGalley and Joffe books for sharing this book with me!

This was one of the better mystery/thriller novels that I have read in a while. The characters were well-fleshed out, and the details were so well done that you could not only imagine the town itself, but you could also feel the paranoia Rosalie felt while being alone. I also enjoyed the way the author was able to weave together a story that blended past and present, but did it in such a way that the ending still came as a surprise.
I think the biggest issue I had with this story is the lack of regard for personal safety where Rosalie was concerned. Not only did she head off to meet with people that were potential suspects, but when presented with obvious evidence of someone having been inside the house with her, threatening her and stalking her, Rosalie adamantly refuses to go to the police (at least until its too late and she's already deleted all of her social media accounts thereby also deleting all of the proof).
One other thing I would change about this one is I would have liked to have seen more of the repercussions at the end of the story. I want to see the head-lines when the truth came out. I want to see Rosalie's parents' reactions to finally learning what happened to their daughter. And I really want to see the piece where an innocent man's name is finally cleared. I felt those would have been a nicer wrap-up than the somewhat confusing one we got (I mean I understood most of what happened, but I'm still unclear as to whether or not Rosalie and Kacper ended up together or if the plane he was watching had her on it).
However, even without those thing, I still enjoyed this one quite a bit, and I definitely feel like other fans of the mystery/thriller will enjoy it as well. I would definitely read more from this author!
DISCLAIMER: I received a complimentary copy of this novel from the publisher. This has not affected my review in any way. All thoughts and opinions expressed in this review are 100% my own.

This was a very gripping thriller which I found difficult to put down. I loved the writing style and how all the way through the suspense kept on building up. This was my first book I had read from this author and it definitely won’t be the last fantastically talent this author is. I will definitely be recommending this especially anyone who loves a very gripping thriller. Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this great book.

This story follows the main character who is going back to her childhood home where she wants to relive the time she spent with her sister before her disappearance. The went in expecting to write a book, but instead she connects with her sisters old class mates and more mystery arises. This book was suspenseful and will keep you on your toes. It’s a quick read if you want to get your heart racing!

A wonderful psychological thriller.
Well written characters and great twists.
A must read for anyone who enjoys this genre of literature.
My thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for my copy.

Rosalie is going back to stay in her empty childhood home to write a book about her sister Leoni who disappeared when she was 15. She meets Casper and Josh who were Leoni classmates. The home is old and creepy and many strange events begin to happen.
Lots of suspense and good atmospheric language as Rosalie begins to put together the pieces of Leoni life. She learns more about Josh who loved her sister and of Casper who has many secrets.
I found this book so fascinating that I sat and read it in one day
